Reports static fields of a <code>Collection</code> type. While it's
not necessarily a problem, static collections often cause memory leaks and are
therefore prohibited by some coding standards.
<p><b>Example:</b></p>
<pre><code>
  public class Example {
    static List&lt;String&gt; list = new ArrayList&lt;&gt;();

  }
</code></pre>
